ABSTRACT:
A video communication terminal for setting up a video communication system which is compact and easy to install, which can be easily transported to different locations and which does not create EMI interference in spite of the compact design. The terminal (T) for video communication includes an electronically moveable camera (C) and a processor card (CP) with a corresponding video codec. The terminal is placed between a display screen (BS) and a respective telecommunication network. The camera (C) can be controlled via a remote control (FB) and comprises an autofocus. Special shielding (B) separating, for example, the camera (C) from the processor card (CP), is provided for suppressing EMI interference. The terminal (T) can be placed on top of the display screen (BS).
